RECENT DEATHS.

CLIFFORD.-The sudden death of d.
A. Clifford removes a man of mark in
his profession, citizen whose artistic
productions have widely extended the
reputation of St. Johnsbury. He was
man of native gifts. Before his 9th
year he could read music accurately,
and at IL he began teaching singing
with such success that after time DR..
Lowell Mason sent for him, and for
some years retained him as conductor
of musical conventions, and agent for
his publications. But Mr.. CliffOrd's
life work was in artistic photography,
for which he had enthusiasm amount
ing to passion. He began with the
As years ago, and made himself mas
ter of every new process, to the time
of his death. He spared neither pains
nor expense to reach ideal perfection
in his art, and was intolerant of any
thing inferior. In this respect he be-
lieved in himself, and in his work, and
he lived to gain national reputation
among artists. Among l67 exhibitors,
English and American, who entered
their pictures at the exposition given
by Lamb bert, inventor of the carbon pro-
cess, at New York, in 1878, the first
prize for large carbon work was award
ed to Mr.. Clifford, and two of his pict-
ures were kept by Mr.. Lambert to be
exhibited in England as specimens Of
American photography. At the time
of his death, and for several years
previous, Mr.. Clifford was Vice Pres
dent of the American Photographers
Association, flor his enthusiasm at the
meetings, he was Familiarity known
among the members as the "Old War
Horse'). His landscape pictures have
been admired everywhere and have
added much to the popular fame OF
Vermont scenery. Not infrequently,
persons approaching nice work, have
come from the cities to be photograph
ed by our st. JOhnsbury artist.
Mr.. Clifford was a man of strong,
Outspoken opinions, his speech was
often seasoned with severity, his equa
nimity was disturbed by ill-health and
repeated disappointments, but those
who knew him intimately learned to APP
preciate his wide intelligence and sin
cerity of soul. He felt his infrmities
deeply, and valued above all things the
mercies of his Redeemer. He died of
heart disease aged 81 years.
